Why Always Lenox & Cambridge Flatware? Try Something New

Flatware is something that we use daily and so it’s important to know that our flatware sets must be of very high quality. It should be strong, durable, and germ resistant. For instance, if you use the same wooden flatware every day, chances are that you will get infected by the germs settled in the wood as they are difficult to wash. But metallic flatware sets are easy to wash and germs are washed off properly.

In metallic flatware also, there are some impurities due to which they get rusted in a very short span of time. But if you opt for better quality products, they will stay the same for a long time. For the same reason, whenever we have a need for buying new flatware sets, we generally think of Lenox or Mikasa or Cambridge Flatware. These brands are quite popular in the utensil industry for generating the best kind of flatware sets.

We are so much obsessed with these brands that we don’t even think of using products offered by others too. There are some other brands as well like Inox Flatware that provides similar products like these Cambridge and Lenox flatware. In fact, the products are stronger and better. They are hand-forged and made very rigid. They can be even washed in the dishwasher. Since you are buying your flatware sets for everyday use, you must ensure it can be washed in the dishwasher or your set isn’t worth it.

Now that you know there are other brands as well than Mikasa flatware or Cambridge or Lenox flatware, you must also know that you can’t trust everybody. These brands are popular because of their years of good work. They all have certain unique features that make them stand out among others. So, if you are planning to decorate your dining table with new flatware sets, you must keep a few things in mind. Just remember one thing, all that shines bright are not gold. The same logic applies to the flatware selection as well. All flatware that shines bright isn’t good. They might be just the polish coated over the spoon, fork, knife, etc.

silverware sets

Likewise, if you wish to get a set of black flatware, we suggest you not to go after the darkness of the utensil. Again, it may be just the polish. So, what you need to consider before purchasing the set. Firstly, if you are searching for silverware sets, then you need to check for the percentage of nickel and chromium present in the set. Nickel represents the luster and prevents corrosion. Stainless steel flatware sets come with a label containing three ratios that are: 18/10, 18/8, or 18/0. The highest quality is 18/10 where 18 represent the chromium percentage whereas 10 represent the percentage of chromium present in the flatware.

Secondly, you must check whether the flatware you have chosen is washable in the dishwasher or not. If you are buying it for everyday use, then always look for the piece that doesn’t need to be hand-washed. However, if you are buying a set to be used occasionally, then any of them can go well if they are of high quality and good in design. Thirdly, you must ensure the price isn’t so high that you regret it after purchasing it. Always be a smart shopper! Try to get something with high quality yet moderate prices. You don’t really need some renowned brand items always. You must always try and give a chance to other products as well. They may result in good and sometimes even better.

The same goes for purchasing a serving tray. We would recommend buying marble trays as a serving tray. Not only they are attractive but also serve a lot of purposes other than serving. You can use them as home decor. Hence, we can conclude that if we choose our utensils keeping certain things into mind, you don’t always require branded items at high prices. You can buy the same thing at a lower or moderate price as well.
